.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

...CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON...

A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS CONTINUING TO PROPAGATE
EASTWARD THROUGH MOST OF THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON. A SURFACE FRONT WAS LOCATED GENERALLY ALONG THE RED
RIVER WITH DEWPOINTS NEAR OR ABOVE 70 DEGREES IN THIS AREA. AN MCV
WHICH WAS SPAWNED FROM EARLY MORNING CONVECTION WAS PROPAGATING
EASTWARD GENERALLY ALONG THE RED RIVER AS WELL. INSTABILITY WAS
QUITE HIGH ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA
AHEAD OF THE MCV. THIS WILL CREATE THE POSSIBILITY THAT A STORM OR
TWO MAY REACH SEVERE LIMITS THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY ACROSS THE
EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA.
